Looking for fictional or biographical books about WWI veterans struggling to adjust to civilian lives in the post-war period. Preferably veterans from the losing side.
Already read The Outlaws by von Salomon (not a WWI vet but lived in the period and was a solider).

holy fuck triggered
Graves' Good-Bye To All That is partially about your question.
Borchert's The Man Outside is all about a returning veteran and how he can't adjust, but of WW2.
Brittain's Testament of Youth is a bit more of the female perspective of a WW1 nurse and what she struggled with after the war.

Erected to honor and naming everyone from a village that had fallen in one of the world wars.

Storm of Steel by Ernst Junger.
It's exactly what you're not looking for.

Obviously Remarque.

Journey to the End of the Night
The Razor's Edge
Hemingway had a few short stories, Soldier's Home, Big Two-Hearted River (though the war isn't actually mentioned, muh iceberg), Now I Lay Me, In Another Country, A Way You'll Never Be)
Technically, you could include The Sun Also Rise and A Farewell to Arms as well.
